This exhibition is an exploration of identity and spiritualistic rituals. It is a shedding of skin that reveals a timid nature. Grifters, snake oil salesmen, and the disenchanted serve as the main characters in these painted theatrical tableaux which are rooted in Milagros folk art. The combination of detailed line work and spontaneous bursts of color creates a meditative environment for the viewer . ghost ghost teeth aka Simon Tran is a Long Beach, CA native who explains: “Art is a means to articulate the constant movement between chaos and tranquility that happens in my head.”
